Online Bingo Chat
Chat is a big deal in the online bingo world, you can however chose to turn this option off or simply monitor it for reasons which will be explained.
In the chat box you will find a lot of conversations going on between players that are online 'now'. These rooms are also moderated by chat hosts (CH's) or more commonly known as chat managers (CM's). These work for the specific online bingo room and are there to keep the piece and continue the smooth running of the room. These CM's also run competitions in the chat box for you to win extra prizes and encourage you to take part in the community and make new friends.
What you will also notice is a lot, and we mean a lot of abbreviations that go on in the chat box. This is done to save time and is easily understood with a bit of practice. The chat abbreviations are standard through all rooms however you may find the odd new one which players make up. Below we have listed the most popular abbreviations to help you get along in the world of online bingo chat!
